Verdict
Having shown ability in four runs at up to 9f on the Flat, MINELLA STUDY is of strong interest now switched to hurdles. He is a brother to 1¾m-2m winner Almudena, while one of his three winning half-brothers was also successful at up to 2m, so hopes can be high that he will be in his element now faced with a stiffer test. Junkyard Dog is naturally appealing given his Flat form and the yard he represents, while Hawkesbury Legend and Felicity Smoak also enter calculations.

VerdictFair Flat winner. 15/2, fifth of 8 in claimer at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good to soft) 10 days ago. In good hands, but sole win on the level was gained on the AW and has a bit to find with a couple of these based on Flat form.

VerdictModest maiden on the Flat. 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (10.4f, good) 12 days ago. Represents a top yard, but she's opposable now hurdling all the same.

VerdictModest maiden on the Flat. Seventh of 20 in maiden at Navan (10.1f, soft, 250/1) 68 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Mulvany and it's probably best to look elsewhere.- Unnamed Favourite
